Tip of the Week - Bling!

Have you ever bought some shoes or a belt with some bling on it and one day pulled them out of the cupboard only to discover that some of the jewels are missing?

When you first buy them, take some time and give the bling a shot with some clear spray glue to set the stones a bit better or get a little pair of pliers and give them all a little tighten.

Tip of the Week - Drawstrings #2 + Toy Sales

Posted in 'Tips' on June 23, 2009

To stop the ends of your drawstrings from fraying, tie a
knot in the end of each side and then get a lighter and give the ends a slight
singe. Doing this will melt the ends of the string together so that they don’t
fray.

Toy Sale Update: For those of you that
aren’t aware, the Kmart and Big W Toy Sales start on Thursday 2nd
July (less than 2 weeks) with Target and Myer following closely behind them.
Some of you will be excited by this news, some of you won’t be really
interested, and the rest of you will be cringing at the thought of fighting the
crowds to get the toys you are after. Never fear, Hectic Helpers is here! We’ll
be attending the sales already for some of our clients, why not get us to do
your shopping as well. Click here for

Tip of the Week - Toy Sales Shopping

This week’s tip is, not surprisingly, about planning for the Toy Sales (but can be translated into any sales, like the Boxing Day Sales)

1.Be prepared – don’t just go in and grab what looks good. You’ll end up taking half of it back because it’s not appropriate

2.Spend some time going through the catalogues and comparing prices, quality etc. If you are buying 90% of your things from one shop and are planning on buying 1 or 2 things from another, just to save $5, is it really worth the grief? Click here to compare the different Toy Sale catalogues

3.Make a list – If you are buying gifts, make a list of peoples names and then write what you are planning on getting for them (including brand and size).

4.Also write the name of the store you are planning on buying it from and how much it is.

5.If you can, get in early. It is surprising how much stock runs out on the first day.

If you can’t get there or don’t want to fight the crowds, check out our Toy Sale Shopping Service. We have limited spots available to go to Kmart & Big W on Thursday morning. If you would like to book, please contact me by 7pm Wednesday evening to ensure we can fit you in.
